Nehemiah 11:21

GispaZihaOphel

19 And the gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and their associates, who kept watch at the gates—172 men.

20 The rest of the Israelites, with the priests and Levites, were in all the villages of Judah, each on his own inheritance.

The temple servants lived on the hill of Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa over them.

22 Now the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. He was one of Asaph’s descendants, who were the singers in charge of the service of the house of God.

23 For there was a command from the king concerning the singers, an ordinance regulating their daily activities.
